We study interacting electrons in a periodic potential and a uniform magnetic field ${\bf B}$ taking the spin-orbit interaction into account. We first establish a perturbation expansion for those electrons with respect to the Bloch states…

Bloch points are magnetic topological defects. The discrete nature of a magnetic lattice creates a periodic potential that can pin a Bloch point. The pinning force is of the order of the exchange constant, a few piconewtons in a typical…

From the pioneering work of Winter [Phys. Rev. 124, 452 (1961)], a magnetic domain wall of Bloch type is known to host a special wall-bound spin-wave mode, which corresponds to spin-waves being channeled along the magnetic texture. Using…
